The Methodist Episcopal Ohuroh,
Knoxville, Holston Con.— Some days
ago, I wrote you a very brief account of the
very remarkable revival then in progress, at
the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this
city, and while I essay to give a more particu
lar history of the mighty “refreshing from the
presence of the Lord,” I am also permitted to
inform the friends of Christianity that the glo
rious work still continues, not only with una
bated interest, but increased, and, I believe,
increasing power. For a long time our cause
lingered here. We were blessed with able and
good men, but it seemed as though this was
not the charge in which their labors were to
be blessed and recognized by Heaven. Just
after the close of the war, there were some
conversions and accessions to the Church. But
still there had been no great "demonstration
and power” attending the labors of our minis
ters. During the two past years the Knoxville
Station had been filled by that good man, Rev.
J. R. Eads, who, at the last Holston Confer
ence, took a transfer to an Illinois Conference.
He was succeeded by our present honored and
excellent pastor, Rev. J. B. Ford. It is writ
ten that “Paul may plant, Apollos may water,
but God must give the iucrease.” So it seems
to me that brother Eads, while here, planted
the good seed, and brother Ford came along
and watered them, when it pleased God to give
the increase. If indulged for a moment, I will
make a comment pertinent as au explanation.
Brother Eads studied and preached theology
as a science, thus gently impressing the hearts
and minds of his hearers with the truths of the
Gospel—essentials of salvation. Brother Ford
studies and preaches theology, not as a science,
but as an effect—a producing cause. The two
men are as dissimilar in their manner of
thought, as any two men of the same ability
to be found in the whole Church. And yet, no
two men can be found better suited to succeed
each other, and especially when brother Eads
is selected as the “sower,” and brother Ford
to come along as the "reaper.” Eight weeks
ago, brother Ford began his meeting, intend
ing to protract it, foreseeing the result by faith.
The revival spirit gradually developed itself,
until it has now approached the character of a
Pentecostal occasion. It is indeed glorious.
Rev. John F. Spence, our most worthy, and
sometimes badly abused presiding elder, Rev.
N. G. Taylor, of the Athens (Tenn.) Station,
and Rev. Mr. Nichols of the North Knoxville
Charge, have all labored effectually since the
meeting began. And Rev. Mr. Bachman of
the First Presbyterian Church, of this city,
should not be forgotten, as he has preached
and prayed with us, and gave us liis full Chris
tian sympathy from the beginning. The result
of these labors, and the progress of the meet
ing, has been more than one hundred conver
sions, and a like number added to the Church.
Old fashioned Episcopal Methodism is once
more getting a foothold here, and may she
grow until all peoples can recline on her
bosom 1 A Methodist.
Lke Ct., Va. Con.—C. Y. Chapman.—l will
give a few notes from this the extreme western
end of the State and Conlerence of Virginia.
The county of Lee, from which I write, is the
extreme Southwestern county of the State, lying
between the States of Kentucky (on the north)
and Tennessee, (on the South,) and terminat
ing in a point at Cumberland Gap, the great
natural gateway through the mountains from
Southern Virginia and East Tennessee to Ken
tucky. The point where the A. M. and O. R. R.
will pass through the Cumberland Mountains.
The road is now surveyed, and will be put un
der contract next Spring, and when finished
will give us a through line from Norfolk, Vir
ginia, to Louisville, Kentucky, greatly enhanc
ing the value of our lands, and the interests of
our country. The Lee Circuit is composed,
principally, of the county of the same name,
and traveled this year by brethren Redwine
and Penley, very good men and acceptable
preachers. Our last quarterly meeting, for this
circuit, was held in Jouesville, December 30th
and 31st. Brother Milburu, our aged and be
loved elder, failed to attend, being unwell, and
having been confined to his room several days.
His place was tilled by brother J. M. Adams,
from the Pattonsville Circuit, who preached
very acceptably. Brother D. H. Carr (M. E.
Church South) has been holding a series of
very interesting meetings in various parts of
our county, and under his ministrations, there
have been upward of a hundred professions
The work is still going on, and invitations have
been sent to several prominent members of our
Church to come in and aid in the work. Some
of our preachers have been with them, and
been invited to participate in the services, and
have been kindly and courteously entreated.
Brother E. B. Clark of our Church, and
brother N. VV. Vaughan, of the Church South,
held a protracted meeting during Christmas
week, at Cedar Fork, on their work (the Taze
well Circuit, Holston Conference.) resulting in
five or six conversions. The most happy fra
ternal relations exist between the two Churches
on their work, and the kindness and courtesy
with which the preachers treat each other,
give promise of much good being accom
plished. Brother Patty’s quarterly meeting
was held last Saturday and Sunday in Taze
well, and was a good meeting. A great many
persons spoke in the love-feast Sunday morn
ing. God poured out his Spirit, and it was a
refreshing season. Brother Patty preached
with his usual force and power. Brother
Vaughan, of the Church South, was with us,
and preached for us twice during the meeting.
Fraternization still progresses, and we hope
that strife and discord in the Churches may
soon die, be buried, and on their tombstones
be written, “uo resurrection.”
"athens District, Holston Con.—J. W.
Mann —There are tweive charges in this dis
trict 1 have closed my first round since Con
ference, and met every appointment. Most
of the quarterly meetings were deeply interest
ing, and attended with happy results. I think
that about one hundred and fifty persons have
been added to the Church since Conference—all
white. The preachers are devoted to their
work, and being much better supported than
they were last year. We are building quite a
number of good churches, and paying for them.
We dedicated a neatly finished log church on
the Winter’s Gap Circuit, at the first quarterly
meeting. Brother S. Grear is in charge. Over
sixty have been brought into our Church since
he came to his new field of labor last October.
The people are manifesting a deeper and more
active interest in the success of our cause in
this country, than they have hitherto done.
They are not laboring in vain. God is with u&,
and who can be against us?

At a meeting of the Evangelical Alliance
William E. Dodge was elected president and
Chief Justice Chase and several others vice
presidents. Dr. Chapin said the Christians of
America ought to take the newly-arrived Jap
anese Commissioners out of the hands of poli
ticians and show them something of the work
ings of our Christian institutions. He said the
Burlingame mission was a comparative failure,
because Christians kept aloof from it.
The delegates from the various Conferences

Breaking up of the Ku-Klux.— The
New York Methodist makes some timely
remarks upon this subject. After quot
ing from Judge Bond, it says :
This is a picture of a condition of soci
ety little short of barbarism. It may well
make intelligent Southerners ashamed of
their country. Let it not be said any more
that the Methodist Episcopal Church has
no business in the South. It has a work
there, and so has every Christian associa
tion engaged in the work of carrying the
light of knowledge and religion to the be
nighted of the earth. South Carolina
needs primers, spelling-books, slates, and
school-masters. The strong arm of the
law may curb the violent, but only educa
tion and the missionary labors of Christian
teachers can cure the evils which have here
been exposed.

Db. A. L. SCOVTLL is the inventor of several medi
cal preparations which have become very popular and
have been liberally used. Among his inventions are
“Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs” and ‘ Liverwort and
Tar.” For the past ten years a belter Luug remedy has
been offered to the public. Read the following letter
from Dr. Scovill referring to it:
Messrs. J. N. Harris & Cos.
GfrUt l make the following statement from a per
fect conviction and knowledge of the benefits of Allen’s
Lang Bals.m in curing the most dee ,-seated pulmo
nary Consumption I 1 have witnessed its effects on the
young and tbe old, and X can truly say that it is by far
the best expectorant remedy with which I am acquinted.
For Coughs, and all the early stages of lung complaints,
I believe it to be a certain cure, and if every family
would keep it by them, ready to administer upon the
first appearance of disease about the Lungs, there
would be very few cases of fatal consumption. It causes
the phlegm and matter t<J raise, without irritating those
delicate organs (the Lungsi and without producing con
stipation of the bowels. It also gives strength to the
system, stops the night-sweats, and changes all the
morbid secretions to a healthy state.

POSSESSING the best characteristics of New England, with better climate, better soil, better health than the old New

rocky bottoms—with long, yet cool Summers, and short and mild Winters, invites

Come from the cold regions of all countries, where Winter consumes all the products of Summer; come from localities af
flicted with consumption to a place where pulmonary disease is almost unknown, except in the coses cured by its climate;
come from crowded cities, where the laboring man is poor, to a region where industry is sure of reward, where a home is
easily obtained, and wealth always within the reach ot humble men; come from high-priced lands to the cheap yet better

25 SINGING ANNUALS, 1871, (every song new
and found nowhere else.)
Philip Phillips has obtained the right—by
a heavy expense—to select from all popular
sources the best Sunday-school songs pub
lished, for the purpose of embodying them in
one book —a thing which has never been done
before; and all who have given it a careful ex
amination, unhesitatingly pronounce it the best
book for Sunday-schools and prayer meetings
extant, as it contains not only the recent popu
lar songs, such as “I love to tell the Story,”
“All to Christ,” “I’m safe within the Veil,”
“The Water of Life,” “Pilgrim’s Mission,”
“Over There,” etc., but all the real old
bys” that we must ever continue to sing, and
which grow better by use.
Our better class of Sunday-school workers
are getting tired of so much new Sunday-school
music, which is becoming a burden to our
schools, and we are gratified now to qffer a
book containing only the true and tried spirit
ual songs, and at so low a price, as the New
Hallowed Songs, with its companion, Hallowed
Hymns, and its yearly supplement, Singing
Annuals.

JOHN HOLLAND’S
SUPERIOR GOLD PENS.
(Successor to George W. Sheppard, Cincinnati O.
TO be good and durable, a GOLD PEN
should be made of 16 carat gold, as no writing fluid
will corrode gold of this fineness; be sufficiently heavy
to be strong and possess good elasticity. The points
should be of the best quality of Tridosmium, (commonly
called diamonds,) firmly attached to the gold and well
finished. It is almost impossible to mar out such a point on
paper.
Those who wish to enjoy the advantages of GEN
UINE G OLD U’JtCJSTiS should only pur
chase those that possess the above qualities, and be
careful in selecting a pen adapted to the hand, as they
necessarily vary in point and spring.
If fairly used, they are warranted for one year from
the time of sale.
